We really enjoyed our stay at Bay Shores. The staff were friendly and helpful, the beach was a block away, the bed and pillows were comfortable and restaurants were close by. We walked everywhere or grabbed an uber if needed, great vacation.

Couldn’t really see beach from Hotel but it’s only a block away and they have bikes you can use to cruise the beach bikeways. Was a lot of fun and enjoyed the location. Had a beach basket with towels and a frisbee, could also get cornhole to take to beach. Really quite fun and the place was simple yet very clean.
